    Pail
    The interface for and by the people
    [​IMG]
    What is it?
    Pail is a Java swing Graphical User Interface designed specifically for bukkit.
    Why is it different?
    • Pail is written as a plugin, meaning the same, simple drag-and-drop install server owners have come to know.
    • Pail uses pure Java and no external libraries, eliminating the need for any dependencies.
    • Pail is designed for bukkit servers, allowing more control than any vanilla server GUI.
    • Pail is extensible! Other plugins can hook into Pail to add their own interfaces, creating a single place for server admins to manage their server and players.
    • Pail is completely cross-platform.
    What can other plugins do?
    Pail opens up many opportunities for plugin developers to take advantage of. Plugins can be written solely to add functionality to Pail, or Pail support can be integrated easily into existing plugins. Just imagine being able to edit your permissions groups, view server performance, or manage your world's economy all from a single interface!

    ===============================
    For Developers:
    You can start developing for Pail now! The API currently consists of several methods for adding your components to the interface. To add a tab for your plugin to the Pail GUI, pass the title of your plugin's tab and the JPanel containing your interface to:​

    Code:
    PluginManager pm = this.getServer().getPluginManager();
    ((Pail)pm.getPlugin("Pail")).loadInterfaceComponent("Title", new JPanel());
    For more method descriptions, the JavaDoc is available here.

    Installation:
    Just drop Pail.jar into your plugins folder. That's it!

    Features:
    • Convenient access to player related functions
    • Interface for editing server settings
    • Command buffer to recall recent console commands by pressing up and down
    • Waypoint system for teleporting players
    • Searchable console (with regular expression support)
    • Much more!
    Commands:
    • Pail - Reopens the Pail GUI through the console

    I'll repost in case you were waiting for a proper reply. You're so fast at tech support. :D

    Ok, that version seems to work just fine.

    I appreciate the help. :) Unfortunately, I had the same issue with the latest gitpull. Hehe, but this will work just fine for a private server. Thanks many times over. :D

    Yep, the next pail version should fix this so it shouldn't happen next time.

    Awesome. Thank you. :D Does more than I thought it did. lol

    Question/req - Would it be possible to do more than OP? Or is that up to coders to make their own permission mods to fit in with the API?

    Would you be able to add the option to resize the GUI window (or at least expand it full screen)?
    Thanks

    Also a sound notification would be cool for users logging on and off

    Can you change code to UTF-8 cause in russian language we have "??????" instead of normal words in chat.

    @Dephurites They've been moved to the "Server" dropdown menu at the top of the window.

    @Aza24 A sound notification option would be fabulous! Doesn't seem that difficult. Would be great if it was toggle-able in settings.

    Try a test server and see how it goes? I'm running 84 or so plugins on 1060 and a lot of them I haven't updated in ages (though I do keep an eye out for updates)

    edit: Oops.. didn't notice the post I replied to was old :D

    I would love to use this and I do want to say good job on making a GUI for Bukkit as unique as this, its a shame that Swing looks horrible. Its the only thing that kills me from using it (which I cannot blame you for).

    @escape @feildmaster
    Hello, I'v run into a few issues with Pail v.0.5.1. Iv tested this both on Windows (7) and Linux (Ubuntu) and when i do a reload it crashes the server and sometimes it will freeze the server upon startup. When this happends it usaully does not open when starting or close when reloading and as soon a a plugin trys to hook into Pail it completely crashes.
    This is a wonderfull GUI with minor bugs but i cant wait to use it when their all worked out!

    ah yes... I thought escape rolled back to 0.5, but we've come across a few errors with it, and some previous code as well...

    It doesn't come up with any errors does it, @thestriker095 ?

    Another question: Did you manually download 0.5.1?

    thestriker095

    Yes it does come up with an error when closing Pail.
    i would show it to you but im not to sure how to copy paste from a Windows CMD
    and yes i did download it manually about 20 mins ago

    ah... Escape should be able to fix that pretty easily. thanks for the report.

    That's too bad. And if I could re-skin it, i sure as hell would...! xD

    Done, will be in next version.

    Hi escape,
    Hi feildmaster,

    I really loved your Plugins Pail & AdvancedPail. But then we bought a Server on nitrado.net, because before it ran from my computer.

    In fact of that, I have following question:

    Could you add the possibility, to open up a GUI in-game which is quite similar to the java-programm, with help of Spout and Spoutcraft ? This would be really great.

    @Homegamer
    While I agree this would be a great idea, it'd also be a great deal of work since the plugin would have to be entirely rewritten and would thus be better suited for a separate project.
